The prefix "poly" means many. A polygon is a closed multi-straight-sided figure - multi meaning anything from 3 or more sides.
The language used in naming polygons is Greek.
So, a triangle is a closed 3-sided figure - the simplest polygon of all - 'tri' meaning 3.
Quadrilateral = 4 sided [quad = 4]
Pentagon = 5-sided [penta = 5]
Sexagon = 6
Septagon = 7
Octogon = 8
Nonagon = 9
Decagon = 10
... and so forth.
